US shuns 'ill-timed' UN conference for 2-state solution, conveys concerns to India
Indian ambassador to the UN P Harish The United States has conveyed its reservations to India about the ongoing UN 2-state conference that it sees as counterproductive to efforts to end the war in Gaza and ensure release of hostages. India is among the 120-odd countries and agencies participating in the conference that has been boycotted by both US and Israel. The US had urged foreign governments to not participate in the conference, as reported by Reuters last month on the basis of a US diplomatic cable seen by the agency. Asked if there had been any contact with India too about the conference, a US embassy spokesperson told TOI that Washington has shared its views with India. 'The United States will not participate in this unproductive and ill-timed conference on the two-state solution in New York City. The United States will continue to lead real-world efforts to end the fighting and deliver a permanent peace. We have shared our views on the conference with the Government of India,' said the spokesperson. As the conference co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia kicked off Monday, the State Department slammed the meeting calling it unproductive, ill-timed and also a publicity stunt that comes in the middle of delicate diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like For all your EV needs ScottishPower Learn More Undo 'Far from promoting peace, the conference will prolong the war, embolden Hamas, and reward its obstruction and undermine real-world efforts to achieve peace,' said spokesperson Tammy Bruce, adding that the US will not participate in this insult but will continue to lead real-world efforts for peace. Bruce mentioned said that French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement of recognition for a Palestinian state, which preceded the conference, was welcomed by Hamas. 'This reflects a pattern of counterproductive gestures that only emboldens Hamas, encourages its obstruction of a ceasefire, and greatly undercuts our diplomatic efforts to end the suffering in Gaza, free the hostages, and move the whole Middle East towards a brighter and more prosperous future,' said Bruce. India is participating in the conference, seeking a constructive and forward-leaning engagement and hoping it would pave the way for concrete steps towards achieving a 2-State solution India had also voted in favour of a UNGA resolution last year that announced an international summit in June 2025 to discuss the 2-state solution. However, the conference couldn't take place last month because of the Iran-Iraq conflict. According to France, the conference aims to chart a path towards the 2-state solution through 'concrete measures' proposed by the 8 working groups, which have conducted extensive consultations with UN member-states and civil society. The conference is drawing attention also for the announcement Macron last week that France will recognise the Palestinian state, becoming the first G7 country to do so. Indian ambassador to the UN, P Harish, had in a statement last week in the Security Council strongly called for a ceasefire to be put in place and sought release of all hostages. India, which was among the 19 countries that abstained from voting on a UNGA resolution in June for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, has been in touch with the 8 working groups and is expected to further provide its inputs on the 2-state solution during the conference. On the Gaza issue, India has continued to walk a tightrope between its vital and growing ties with Israel and the traditional support for the Palestinian cause, including the 2-state solution. While the government strongly defends Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas terrorist attacks, it also expects Israel to follow international law and not target civilians. 'India shares historic and strong ties with our Palestinian brothers and sisters. We have always stood by them and our commitment towards the Palestinian cause is unwavering,' said Harish in his remarks in the Council. The ministry of external affairs also reiterated the Indian position in Parliament on Friday that India has always supported a negotiated 2-state solution, towards establishment of a sovereign, independent and viable State of Palestine within secure and recognized borders, living side by side in peace with Israel.

Now, India says in UNSC Gaza ceasefire must be put in place
NEW DELHI: A ceasefire must be put in place in Gaza and all hostages released, said India participating in an open debate in the UNSC on the Middle East situation, including the Palestinian question. Indian ambassador P Harish reiterated that the pathway to enduring peace is rooted in a two-State solution - one that establishes a sovereign, viable and independent State of Palestine within recognised and mutually agreed borders, living side by side with Israel in peace. "The way ahead is clear, and India has been consistent in this regard. The ongoing human suffering must not be allowed to continue. Humanitarian assistance needs to be facilitated in a safe, sustained and timely manner. There is no substitute to peace. A ceasefire must be put in place. All hostages must be released," said Harish, adding that dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable paths to achieving these objectives and that there are no other fixes or solutions. India had earlier this year abstained from voting on a UNGA resolution for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, even though it had underlined the significance of truce in its remarks. "India shares historic and strong ties with our Palestinian brothers and sisters. We have always stood by them and our commitment towards the Palestinian cause is unwavering," said Harish.

India condemns Pak's funding of terror at UN
India condemned Pakistan's sponsorship of cross border terrorism at the United Nations on Tuesday at a high-level open debate chaired by Islamabad. India condemns Pak's funding of terror at UN 'I am also constrained to respond to the remarks made by the representative of Pakistan. The Indian subcontinent offers a stark contrast in terms of progress, prosperity and development models. On the one hand, there is India which is a mature democracy, a surging economy and a pluralistic and inclusive society. At the other extreme is Pakistan, steeped in fanaticism and terrorism, and a serial borrower from the IMF,' said Ambassador P Harish, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations. The debate was one of two signature events planned by Pakistan as part of its Presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the month of July. The presidency of the UNSC, the UN's top decision making body, rotates every month between its 15 members. India was responding to a statement made earlier in the day by Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar who condemned India's 'occupation' of Jammu and Kashmir. Dar also questioned India's decision to place the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance. Through the high level open debate, Pakistan has pushed for greater international involvement in the mediation of disputes, which would presumably also include Kashmir. In response, India stated that consent of the parties to a dispute was crucial to ensure the peaceful resolution of international conflicts. New Delhi has resisted international mediation on the Kashmir issue in favour of dealing with the dispute bilaterally. 'There cannot be one standard approach to dispute resolution. The changing circumstances and context also need to be taken into account while considering any such efforts,' said Harish. India also called for costs to be imposed on nations that sponsor cross border terrorism before defending India's actions in Operation Sindoor, which was launched in May as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack. 'Recently, consequent to the gruesome terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025 that led to the killing of 26 innocent tourists, and based on the Council Statement of 25 April where members of the Security Council underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of this reprehensible act of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice, India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), which was focused, measured, and non-escalatory in nature,' Harish added. 'As we debate promoting international peace and security, it is essential to recognize that there are some fundamental principles which need to be universally respected. One of them is zero tolerance for terrorism. It ill behoves a member of the Council to offer homilies while indulging in practices that are unacceptable to the international community,' he said.

Pakistan 'serial borrower from IMF', 'steeped in terrorism': India at UN
India on Wednesday launched a sharp attack against Pakistan at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with Permanent Representative Ambassador P Harish slamming Islamabad for supporting fanaticism, terrorism and mismanaging its economy. "On the one hand, there is India which is a mature democracy, a surging economy and a pluralistic and inclusive society. At the other extreme is Pakistan, steeped in fanaticism and terrorism, and a serial borrower from the IMF," Harish said. He was speaking at the UNSC high-level open debate on 'Promoting International Peace and Security through Multilateralism and Peaceful Settlement of Disputes' held under Pakistan's presidency of the 15-nation Council for July. In May this year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had approved disbursement of about $1 billion to Pakistan under its extended fund facility, bringing total disbursements under the arrangement to about $2.1 billion. "The Indian subcontinent offers a stark contrast in terms of progress, prosperity and development models," Harish said, responding to remarks made by the representative from Pakistan.

In his remarks to the debate in his national capacity, Dar raked up the issue of Jammu and Kashmir as well as the Indus Waters Treaty. Pakistan is currently a non-permanent member of the 15-member UNSC for the 2025-26 term. Live Events Harish also issued a strong message on the need for accountability in terror cases, referencing the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, J&K in which 26 civilians were killed. "There should also be a serious cost to states who violate the spirit of good neighbourliness and international relations by fomenting cross-border terrorism," he said.
